SB 1486 Raises Premiums And Reduces Consumer Choice
Monday, Apr 27, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Illinois is home to one of the most competitive insurance markets in the nation. Hundreds of insurers fight for consumers, leaving families better protected than those in other states. SB 1486, described by the Daily Herald as “controversial legislation,” could eliminate that system and, in its place, leave Illinois with the most extreme regulatory framework in the nation. This legislation could:
• Cause insurers to scale back coverage • Result in companies leaving the marketplace entirely These policies have been tried in other states, leading to skyrocketing costs for consumers and limited options for coverage. Don’t bring California style overregulation to Illinois. Click here to learn more.

Built For Illinois. Built With Transparency.
Friday, Apr 24, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Public safety technology only works when communities trust it. That’s why Flock Safety built privacy and transparency into every layer of our system from the beginning of the design cycle — not as an afterthought. In Illinois, that means:
• Only local law enforcement decides who can access data. Flock never shares without explicit permission. • Compliant with Illinois law. Sharing data with out of state agencies is regulated. • Automatic deletion. All LPR data is permanently deleted in accordance with an agency’s retention schedule. • No backdoors. Private customers cannot access law enforcement data. • No facial recognition. • Flock Safety is trusted by hundreds of Illinois law enforcement agencies — from Crystal Lake to Champaign — because we believe safety and privacy have to coexist. Not someday. Now.

Drug Costs Are Rising: 340B Legislation Helps Lower Costs, Strengthen Communities
Friday, Apr 24, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Nearly 40% of Illinois residents get their health coverage through Medicaid (25%) and Medicare (18%). Yet, government providers do not cover the full cost of care. Hospitals on average lose 10-15% treating Medicare patients and 30-35% treating Medicaid patients. Despite this, Illinois hospitals continue to provide lifesaving care around the clock. Congress created the 340B drug discount program over 30 years ago to address financial shortfalls, including inadequate reimbursement from government payers. Last spring, the Senate unanimously passed House Bill 2371 SA 2 to protect 340B. HB 2371 does not ask drugmakers to do anything new, but to do their part in lowering drug costs for hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) that serve many low-income patients. Stand with hospitals, FQHCs and their patients: Pass HB 2371 SA 2. Learn more.
